Although each variety of winter squash has a unique nutritional profile, they all tend to be rich in beta-carotene, fiber, vitamin C, vitamin B6, magnesium, and potassium. For example, one cup of butternut squash contains 63 calories, 2.8 g of fiber, almost 300% DV for vitamin A in the form of carotenoids, 50% DV for vitamin C, and substantial potassium, manganese, magnesium, vitamin B6, vitamin E, and folate. Winter squash are categorized as root vegetables in scientific studies because they are nutritionally similar to starchy roots and tubers, even though squash are botanically fruit. For every 100 grams of root vegetables we consume daily (including winter squash), risk of all-cause mortality (a general indicator of health and longevity) decreases by a whopping 24%.
